but we do ensure your precious pooches, majestic moggies and trusty steeds.

And there's more.

Animal Friends policies have purpose.

We've donated over £9 million to more than 800 animal charities around the world.

welcome back to my podcast, Esme's Country Life. In today's episode, I'm going to be talking all

about when are you ready for your first

horse and also a little bit about what it's like being a horse owner and the responsibilities behind

that. But before we begin, I just want to say a huge thank you to the sponsor of the podcast,

Red Post. Red Post is an equestrian and country store based in the UK, but they also ship

all over the world. And if you're listening to today's episode, you might be thinking, oh, I might be looking into getting my first horse soon.

And if you do need to get lots of things for your first horse, you can get them at Red Post.

They do absolutely everything. You might already own a horse and need to stock up on things,

if that's shampoos, lotions and potions, all the other bits and bobs that you need. But anyway, yeah, be short to head to repostequestion.com.

Anyway, let's get into today's podcast episode.
